SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his
designee (Gale Bataille) to execute on behalf of the County,
Contract Amendment Agreement #24-384-7 (2) with Rica Torneros
( dba Torneros Residential Care Home #2) which provides for a
rate increase under the Supplemental Rate Program, as mandated
by the State Department of Mental Health , in DMH Letter #87-17 .
This Amendment Agreement will increase the payment limit by
$10 ,000 to a new total payment limit of $30 , 720 to allow for the
mandated rate increase and for an increase in residential care
services provided 'by the Contractor .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT :
This contract is fully funded in the Health Services Department
Budget under the County ' s SB 155 Supplemental Residential Care
Services allocation for FY 1987-88 . A 10% County match is
required as follows :
$27 , 648 State Supplemental Residential Care Funds
3 ,072 County Matching Funds
$30 , 720 Total
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
These Agreements allow Contra Costa County to continue placing
individuals into the community who might otherwise remain in
more expensive hospital care for longer periods of time than is
necessary. SB 155 was signed by the Governor on September 30,
1985 . It mandates implementation of the Supplemental Rate
System for Residential Care Facilities . These Supplemental
Rates are designed -to fund augmented basic living and care ser-
vices for mentally disabled adults in licensed residential care
facilities . In order to augment Residential Care Facility
payments pursuant to SB 155 regulations , the County must
designate and enter into agreements with licensed facilities
which agree to accept clients who require supplemental services .
These rates are reviewed and adjusted by the State periodically
and approval of this Amendment Agreement will bring the County
into compliance with the current rate revision by the State
under DMH Letter #87-17 .
